Aimee got a ticket. Yes our little fundraising friend, Aimee, bless her cotton socks, was out on her fundraising to help other equines in need, this time visiting Kilmarnock.
Her Aimee mobile was parked in a car park owned by Parking Ecosse - they don't have any signs up saying no trailers, and the ground isn't marked into bays, but when Aimee came trudging wearily home, there was a ticket on the windscreen!
Mum was not pleased - you don't want to see not pleased, I tell you, it's scary. She can do grumpy old woman perfectly. Jobsworth parking person comes over and starts saying that we took up 4 spaces and had only paid for 1.....well I know that Aimee has a smart trailer, but it isn't that big....After a lot of shouting and gesticulating, mum paid for a second spot and he 'removed' the ticket. Aimee, being a very very smart girl, showed her displeasure by lifting her tail.
Jobsworth tells mum to pick it up - she says there isn't a sign about poo picking and anyone for donkeys you don't have to poo pick, unlike dogs. Normally she does when Aimee is out and about, she carries plastic bags, rubber gloves, brush, water, and usually really cleans up, but on this occasion she was extremely inclined to leave it as a mark of respect. In the end she did pick it up - jobsworth has no idea how close he was to having a very close encounter with Aimee poo... she would have you know.
So Parking Ecosse, you are a very community spirited company who penalises poor charity workers, by not making your terms and conditions explicitly clear...and not having someone on site all the time to point out what you expect motorists to do!
Aimee will be back later this year.....watch where you walk....
